Press Release Summary:

November 6, 2012 -
With 135 x 12 x 3 m work envelope, Bridge Gantry Type RBP is suitable for railway vehicle construction, shipbuilding, steel construction, or wind energy power plant construction. System can be equipped with 2 robots in different configurations. Besides longitudinal and transversal axis of gantry itself, RV20-16 robot can be moved along vertical axis, for total of 15 axes. Alternatively, 3 hand axes of articulated-arm robot can be combined with 3 linear axes to achieve 6-axis robot.

The bridge gantry type RBP can be equipped with 2 robots in different configurations. Besides the longitudinal and the transversal axis of the gantry itself, the Reis robot type RV20-16 can also be moved along a vertical axis; thus, a total of 15 axes is available. Alternatively, the 3 hand axes of the articulated-arm robot can be combined with 3 linear axes to achieve a 6-axis robot. This solution is typical for Reis Robotics: as manufacturer, Reis has the ability to configure the axes according to the task.

Typical applications are:
• MAG welding and plasma cutting of ship building sections: Programming is made offline via CAD/CAM coupling in piece number 1. Optical sensors balance the tolerances. Welding equipment with a total weight of 4t can be carried along on the gantry.
• Spot and laser welding of railway vehicles: Here, the left and right side wall, as well as floor and roof structure, are accommodated under the gantry. Matching payloads and pressing options are available for the application technology.
• Manufacturing of blades for wind energy plants and boat hulls: Here, the gantry makes use of its full work envelope. Versions can be easily programmed via macro technology.
